I had them in proper black potato bags with metal! ringed drainage holes with fresh multi-purpose compost from a bag. My composters are great, but I only ever use this compost on open ground. The bags are a bit of a gimmick really.ForgeCorvus wrote:Fiesty:

Are you growing in your garden soil?
Have you tried pure compost (council or commercial that is, not garden made) ?

Feisty - try lifting the tatties earlier. Grow Charlotte / swift or another early and whip out of the bags as you need them....... Or Vivaldi (I like these as they can be lifted early OR left to mature.
My problem with protein is really my 6 year old - she doesn't "do" pulses!! i.e. not even a baked bean will pass her lips...... This has never been an issue before the cashflow crisis as she'll eat fresh / frozen fish, lamb, beef etc. So my learning plan for this year is canning - bolognaise sauce always goes down well, and I think some "potted" meats if I can wean her onto them. My focus has to be expanding the day to day diet as part of prepping as well as squirrelling.
